There are subtle differences in the approach to both vehicles that you will have to take into account. Regardless of which vehicle you decide to drive for each challenge, the action will take place entirely off-road. To get past them, you have to keep your foot tapping the brakes as you angle the tyres and try to precisely maneuver your vehicle over them.ĭriving in Overpass comes in two distinct flavours, as you can either get behind the wheel of a racing buggy or a quad bike.
These can include everything from huge rocks to logs and tyres, although there are also more elaborate barriers such as seesaws. Each event is littered with obstacles and difficult terrain that can only be passed through careful driving. While these apply to most racing titles, they are completely useless in Overpass and will offer you no help. This means getting concepts such as following the racing line and hitting the apex on corners out of your head.
It actually encourages you to take things slowly and think about what you are going to do, evaluating what is the best course of action. In Overpass, things are not quite as simple, with the emphasis instead put on trying to carefully navigate a variety of obstacles in the most efficient manner. After all, practically every type of racer will judge you on how quickly you can get to the finish line. Shifting the focus away from simply trying to go as fast as possible is an interesting take for a racing game. It’s a strange mix of Trials, MudRunner, and ultra realistic rally games that will constantly test your patience and concentration. Swedish developer Zordix Racing has flipped the genre around so that driving becomes much more about precision than outright speed. That’s largely because the game is not just about going as fast as you can, but rather making sure you actually get to your destination in one piece. Overpass is probably unlike any racing game you’ve played before.
